Symptom

When you run an update for Learning Assignment using Import Data, it will not update the Assignment Type.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Learning Management System (LMS) - b1708

Reproducing the Issue

Go to System Admin > Tools > Import Data

Under Action select Import Data

Under Record Type choose Learning Assignment

Under Import Option select Update

Under Import File, click Browse and choose the EntityTemplate for LearningAssignment from your computer.

Choose your desired Time Zone ID

Click Submit

Cause

The input under Action column in the Entity Template for Learning Assigment was set to Update.

Resolution

This is an expected behavior since the Assignment Type column is processed only during Assign Action. This means that it will only work for new item assignment. In the Entity Template for Learning Assigment, the input under Action should be Assign. The Import Option from Import Data should be Add or Add and Update.
